What does Standards Australia do?

Standards Australia plays a critical role in promoting and developing industry standards across various sectors. Its primary purpose is to establish a framework that ensures products, services, and systems are safe, reliable, and of high quality. By creating agreed-upon benchmarks, Standards Australia facilitates consistency and compliance across industries, which helps businesses operate efficiently and consumers make informed choices.

The development of these standards involves collaboration among experts, industry stakeholders, and government bodies, ensuring that the standards reflect current best practices and technological advances. This process not only helps enhance the quality and safety of products but also fosters competitiveness in the marketplace.

In contrast, manufacturing consumer goods, regulating market pricing, or creating advertisements for standards does not fall under the scope of Standards Australia's responsibilities or objectives. While these functions are relevant to the broader context of industry operations, they are distinct from the core mission of Standards Australia to develop and promote standards.
